From the recordings D'Monroe and Dirty Life...Abyss
Lyrics
Dirty Life
As the baby cries…starvin’
Parents watch in fortitude
There life rich of love
Surrounded by anger, and hope
They’re some trying
To bridge the gap to which they (we all) live
Chorus
Dirty life those with the courage to cleanse the world that’s become
Dirty life soiled by greed and poor commune with our neighbor
(2ond. x)
Dirty life death and sickness fills the streets we must clean this
Dirty life before more have succumb are we really OK with this…..Dirty life
Some reach out in peace
Turning the other cheek
Others eye for an eye
But still holding out for tranquility
Miscommunication
Unwillingness to give up this
Bridge
How many will not see tomorrow
How much are we gonna have to rebuild
How many will lie starving in the streets
Oh how the questions do pile up
Back to 1st. verse pre chorus
Abyss
To the abyss (2x) dirty life to the abyss ow
To the abyss (4x) Ah (2x)
To all who decide they will live that dirty life Ah (2x)
A wake of destruction left behind all your lies Ah (2x)
Leap frog your way destroying everywhere you land
The thought of peace and love is not within your plan
Chorus
To the abyss (8x) Ah (4x)
I deem you. You deserve the depths of hell
No one will hear your howls from the dark side Ah (2x)
Your friends pull their hair to convince you otherwise Ah (2x)
Drop the top and see your destination
The life you live has ramifications
Chorus
To the abyss (8x) Ah (4x)
Ow to the abyss. I deem you. You been condemned Ow
Solo
Ow (4x)
Chorus
To the abyss (16x) Ah (8x)
I deem you to the bottomless pit
You deserve the depths of hell
If you choose to live the dirty life
Then you’ve been condemned to a bottomless pit
I deem you. To the abyss
Dirty life Ah
To the abyss
